PART 6THE SECOND STEP: THE 9 POWERFUL, RAPID CONTRACTIONS WHILE RETAINING YOUR BREATH
Perform nine rapid contractions of the perineum, jaws and fists muscles. Perform nine such powerful and rapid contractions for the Great Ascension, while retaining the breath with your lungs filled with air.

These contractions “absorb” the surplus energy that leads to ejaculation. Make as many as six sets of nine contractions, until the ejaculatory-impulse disappears.

With this method, the aroused sexual energy tends to leave the nerves and goes to the contracted muscles. Make the retention of your breath as fast as possible, so that the nervous impulse is cut as often as possible. Repeating the nine contractions six times should reduce the ejaculatory impulse to zero.

However, you do not have to perform all six sets of nine contractions. It is only essential to regain your control over the sexual energy.

As you are on top of your lover, supporting yourself on your forearms, with your penis inside your lover’s vagina, your seed will be quite “effervescent”.

The nine contractions will help you control the sexual energy. Meanwhile, you will have the time to enjoy the calm force that springs from this technique.
The genital glands enlarge when you get close to the point of non-return. The contractions for the Great Ascension reduce their dimensions, extract the extra energy from them and diminish the sexual tension.

A short interval between the contractions enhances the power of the muscles to block the seed. If the interval between two contractions is too long, the muscles will perform an ineffective contraction.

The inhalation should not be too fast or too slow, so that the energy has the time to flow back to the genital area. The breath retention during the nine contractions weakens the impulse leading to ejaculation.

The purpose of these contractions is to change the direction of the seminal fluid. From a physical point of view, this means that you have to accelerate the flow of the sexual energy upwards, through the spine.

This acceleration occurs only in the moment of contraction, and not when you relax the muscles. Thus, it is required that you perform several successive contractions in order to direct the fluid into the body and to defeat the tendency of the seed to dissipate.

THE THIRD STEP: THE CONTRACTION OF THE BUTTOCKS
The importance of this step should not be neglected. The greatest muscle of the body has to be used for our advantage.
Contract the buttocks so that if you sit, your body lifts a little. Having good muscle tone in your buttocks is important for your health.

When these muscles are flaccid, the vital energy flows out of the body. When these muscles are toned, one of the two basic energies of the body is held inside.

The other energy gets out of the body through the penis, when ejaculating. The pain becomes easily bearable if the muscles are contracted. Just as the nervous impulse named “pain” is weakened by a muscular contraction, so is the ejaculatory impulse.

In both cases the muscles absorb energy and this interferes with the nervous impulse. The contraction of some important muscles takes the energy from the genital area.

The contraction of the buttocks is recommended mainly for the interruption of the nervous circuit between the brain and the genitals, at the base of the spine. Therefore, firmly contract the buttocks, because this action stops the ejaculatory impulse from taking over.
